Florentine Opera Company

Set sail on an epic operatic adventure as the Florentine Opera presents Mozart’s first major opera. Idomeneo, a powerful Cretan king, makes an ill-fated pact with Neptune, the god of the sea, and is confronted with unforeseen consequences as life-and-death drama gives way to the triumph of love. The artistic team behind 2009’s smash-hit production of Semele reunites to create a new production that perfectly complements Mozart’s glorious melodies. Sung in Italian with English translations projected above the stage.
